Can anyone suggest a good book or learning CD for kindergartern to learn their letter sounds?

I was looking for something to reinforce what we do in class.


Thanks

We use this collection of poems (it comes in a big book with a CD) from Scholastic to reinforce the sounds plus it's fun to sing..we also find the words that begin with that sound in the poems...I think it's something like "ABC Sing Along"...see if you can get your hands on a program called Letter People...come to think of it, I should look, too, because it was great from what I remember from student teaching. Another thing we do in our program is use a puppet to make the sounds and blend words together..cheesy, I know, but the kids LOVE the puppet..our program comes with a dog pre-named Happy (we tried to rename him to no avail)...hth...
